Q — Sons Os Famous Coaches Are Outstanding At Culver Culver, Ind., Aug. 27. —An interesting side-light of the Culver summer schools has been the all-around work of the sons of two famous athletic coaches, Pat Page, of Indiana and Frank Dobson, of Virginia, recognized in the southeast as the leading foursport coach. Page junior is the leader among the seniors and ranks first in swimming and track and is pitcher on the ball team which won the championship. Young Dobson, a junior, plays shortsop on the same team. In addition to being winner of the breast stroke in swimming, he won a championship in tennis doubles, won the boxing championship in his weight and has won the jumps as well as being a member of the relay team in traqk. o A woman’s idea of a good conversationalist is a man who can think of something to say when she pauses tor a second io regain her breath.

Jr., of Chicago. Bobby’s ambition 10 years ago was to emulate the prowess of the popular “Chick" Evans, who was at the height of his fame. Since then, Jones has become recognized as a greater golfer than Evans and between them they have won more championships than any two amateurs or professionals. Bobby was elected to win today because of the “better than perfect” golf he has been shooting while the "old veteran” was striving to catch up with par. But the greatest golfers “break” under the strain of tournament play and there are those who believe Jones can’t keep it up. »♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD ♦ ♦ ♦♦ + ♦♦♦♦* + ♦ + ♦♦♦• (By United Press) Chicago went into a three and onehaif game lead in the National league and the Cards gained second place by virtue of Pi tsburgh’s 6 to 4 defeat yesterday by Boston.

Road To Victory Looks Easy For Miss Wills Now New York, Aug. 27. Following the dramatic and almost tragic elimination of Mrs. Molln Mallory, the dej fending champion, in the quarter final iround of the national women's chump jionship tournament, the return route of Miss Helen Wills to the tide she defaulted last year has been made easy. Today she plays In the semi-finals against Miss Helen Jacobs, renowned jus "Helen II of Berkeley" and in (he I final Monday nguinsi the winner of 'the match between Miss Betty Nuthall. the charming English girl, and Mrs. Charlotte Mosnu r Chapin. It may be rash judgment to count Miss Jacobs out before she plays but there is nothing in her record to indicate that site has more than a far ouiside chance to eliminate Miss Wills from the final. The same holds true of the winner of the other semi-final macth. The passing of Mrs. Mallory was not a pleasing sight as she fought with one of the stoutest hearts in tennis but she had two battles to stage, one against her own game which would not work and the other against the strokes of Mrs. Chapin who always got the ball back to her. o Get the Habit—Trade at Home, it Pave I ~ Folks Os Whom • \ou Ask Some Thing nener Like, you as J ‘ V/EUU AGAIN £ ♦Ay- . w BOSTONIAN SHOES FOR MEN Tchn-T-Myeu & Sen, I y C.OtwtstG AnO S» Otf J fOA P4O ANO HU - I
